recently created by the editor of the Harsens Island news blog
As previously reported here, Lucky 7 Development LLC owns 8 parcels of land on Harsens Island in St. Clair County, Michigan. A significant portion of those lands are known as the former "Boys Club" property. A decade earlier Malik and another partner had proposed a marina development for the property.
The editor of a Harsens Island news blog mapped those eight properties (see above) in comparison to a map previously printed in the Times Herald (see below) and discovered that three of the eight parcels owned by Lucky 7 Development LLC are not included in the illustrative map the newspaper published. The news blog reports the three unincluded parcels represent approximately 50 acres.
While the Times Herald had reported as part of a story anticipating an upcoming public forum that the project was simply a "condo development;" in fact, 2/3rds of the property in the proposed development appears to be dedicated to a man-made lagoon surrounded by 75 single family home lots and 96 townhomes or "detached condos" built in clusters of six; the remaining units would be located in multi-story buildings on the back 1/3rd of the property. The lagoon feature would include a canal with unobstructed access to the North Channel of the St Clair River and a clubhouse is positioned on the point of an island in the lagoon.
It's not clear how the Times Herald came to obtain or created the map previously published; neither the map nor the related stories are available on-line at the Times Herald any longer. But certainly the developer or his associates must have at least been consulted on the map given the level of details and may likely have even provided the newspaper with the graphic.
